The shorter leg of the right triangle is

The other leg of the right triangle is

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the shorter leg of a right triangle

y----> the larger leg of a right triangle

we know that

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

----> equation A

----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

using a graphing tool----> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

therefore

The shorter leg of the right triangle is

The other leg of the right triangle is

answer is:
